Great Experience with the Kennedy Law Firm
Unlike other attorney's James Kennedy actually met with me in person. I didnt have to follow a chain of command! I got great service and James took the time to walk through the process step by step, I was always informed... Highly Recommended!

James Kennedy- your friend, your neighbor, your attorney
James Kennedy is more than just an attorney, he actually cared about my case. His follow through was the best I’ve ever experienced. He was very professional, experience, punctual, but more importantly he got me results for my injuries. There is not a better personal injury attorney in the El Paso area!
